Offshore Staffing Firm Rises to the Call for Disaster Response with Help of Funding Partner
- Current Client
- Location: New Orleans, LA
- Business Model: Temporary Staffing
- Industry Vertical: Oil and Gas, Marine
Background/Problem
Founded in 2010 as a logistics company, ‘Offshore Logistics’ soon expanded into staffing, specializing in marine and offshore roles for the oil and gas industry. The company deploys personnel worldwide, managing project-based teams ranging from 50 to 200 workers. They also provide staffing for shipyard and industrial operations, including roles from clerical support to specialized electricians.
A recent challenge arose when Offshore Logistics was called to assist with disaster response efforts following massive hurricanes in Florida and North Carolina. The company was tasked with providing not only disaster relief staffing employees but also managing logistics for transportation, housing, and food—a new and expansive undertaking that required significant upfront funding.

The Approach
Offshore Logistics had been working with Advance Partners for several years. With a deep understanding of the staffing industry’s dynamics, especially in high-demand, rapid-response scenarios, Advance offered a customized funding solution. This enabled Offshore Logistics to mobilize resources swiftly and efficiently without the usual financial strain.
“We had the funds we needed upfront, which was crucial for the success of the operations in both Florida and North Carolina.” – Spencer S
The Results
With Advance Partners’ support, Offshore Logistics successfully fulfilled their contract, providing essential services in the wake of natural disasters. The ability to manage large-scale logistics and staffing under pressing circumstances was a significant test that Offshore Logistics passed with flying colors, largely thanks to the flexibility and quick action of their funding partner.
“It was our first time doing a staffing job like this… I got a call, I said yes, and next thing we know, we are running with it. I was happy to be able to help for a good cause,” reflected the client. Since partnering with Advance in 2017, Offshore Logistics has not only stabilized its funding and collection issues but has also expanded its ability to take on more ambitious projects.
